Does the diversification of a Gaming Franchise's Collectibles bother you?

[SwiftDeath]

I didn't know how best to say it

Basically with modern games it seems that more and more are going with the "Mario" approach to things

In other words more merchandising, more collectibles, more variety

There are now keychains, posters, steelbooks, art cards, statues, multiple CE skus, toys, action figures and so much more for more game franchises/brands then ever

Assassin's Creed is the obvious case in point but so many more fall victim to this as well.

Obviously this bothers me and the correct response is to simply only collect that which interests you. I follow this logic and have gotten good at passing AC (among countless other) stuff that doesn't interest me.

However it still bothers me when I see official items that are crap quality or toys even if I'd never have interest in those items in the first place. I'm sure it's just me being nitpicky but I feel like it dilutes the game a bit and collecting for it. Imagine if there were cheesy Mcdonalds toys for every game

Would put me well off. I don't know seeing how much stuff actually exists for some of these games and how much of it is junk just puts me off a bit I suppose

Any thoughts?

Spoiler!

Besides Coma who will no doubt tell me to be happy with what I have and that I should donate it all to save the pandas
